Hello Gems and Jewels! For some of you this will be one more post about the BeautyBlender sponge and for others it may be informative but I have to say again how much I love this sponge and the results it produces. Yes there are dupes out there but this is one of the tools of the trade that again I am willing to splurge on. The BB is an egg-shaped, soft, latex, washable, re-usable and recyclable sponge that gives you a flawless airbrush finish when used to apply your foundation. The trick to getting the perfect finish is to dampen the sponge with water until it swells to pretty much double the size and then squeeze out the access water and apply your foundation using the stippling method (or bouncing off the skin gently). You can also roll it on your skin and use the pointed side to get to hard to reach places like under your eyes and around your nose. The BB sponge can also be used to apply and blend out concealer and it leaves no harsh lines or streaks. Although I hesitated to add to the numerous posts about the BB, I was recently reminded about how much I love it when I used it to apply the Cover FX foundation.
Bottom Line:
I highly recommend giving this sponge a try as it will dramatically cut down on your makeup application time, especially in the morning when most of us are rushing to get out the door. If you are in between replacing your brushes and are not ready to invest in a good set, this is a perfect alternative. The BB goes for about $18.00 but typically lasts through many applications and can be used with all types of makeup. Again there are dupes out there like the Sonia Kashuk sponge that you can find in Target, they don't hold up and are not as versatile as the BB. Give it a try and let me know what you think!!
